Michigan Yemen Sports Association (MYSA) is a non-profit organization, which was established in July 2003 by a group of parents and volunteers. The intention of this establishment was to create recreational, social, and educational programs to help keep our children off the streets and away from harms. So, we started running soccer training programs for ages 8 – 18 years old in addition to the adults programs. Over the last 7 years and through hard work and commitment from many of our parents and volunteers, we began to pave the way to create MYSA. On March 2006, MYSA became an official 501 (C) (3) non-profit corporation registered with the state of Michigan and the Internal Revenue Services. The goal of MYSA is to take part in the development and betterment of our community and its youth, through recreational, social, and educational activities. The mission of the MYSA is to raise awareness of the diverse interests and needs of members of our community and to promote greater participation in dialogue and exchange. Through diplomacy, we can build strong bridges of cooperation between our community and other communities locally, nationally, and internationally.
